How will Trump’s attacks affect higher education?

Let’s look to history

Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions

Hitler destroyed them

How long did they take to recover?

They haven’t

I like that the NYT story on Mamdani's college application is sparking dialogue on how race is a political expression. ~100 years ago, Minnesota expelled Finnish labor organizers by declaring them Asian and Alabama let a Black man marry a Sicilian woman because Italians weren't "White."

We're also going to find out that RFE/RL, USAID and the rest of the American soft-power apparatus was also load-bearing.

It turns out a radio station is a lot cheaper than if you have to intervene to fight a war or control refugee flows.

A *lot* of this stuff is load-bearing.

Flattened cities, millions of people burnt to death, and yet more tortured by radioactive fallout. That harrowing future may seem outlandish to some, but only because no nation has detonated a nuclear weapon in conflict since 1945.

Our 2023 story on if old nukes would actually work.
No One Knows If Decades-Old Nukes Would Actually Work
Atomic weapons are highly complex, surprisingly sensitive, and often pretty old. With testing banned, countries have to rely on good maintenance and simulations to trust their weapons work.

This is a solution and one lots of people are going to. It works. It’s also pedagogically terrible. Fundamentally ableist in structure. It assesses skills that are not the relevant skills for any meaningful intellectual activity. It represses skills that are meaningful. I don’t have an answer.
